I'm the kind of guy who astounds people with a vault of random
knowledge. I like to cultivate a wide range of (often geeky)
hobbies, but still pursue them vigorously. I'm an engineer and a
scientist at heart but also have an eye for the arts. I'm happiest
when I'm learning new things.

Despite my diverse interests, I'm known for usually being quiet and
reserved. I prefer small gatherings of close friends over loud,
packed nightclubs.

I've been told I have a dry, clever sense of humor, but I
appreciate goofy absurdities too. I've also been told I'm a good
listener. I don't have any pets right now, but grew up with all
kinds of animals (cats, dogs, fish, lizards, hermit crabs).

I read a lot of science fiction, but I like to mix in plenty of
other genres. Top current authors: Larry Niven, Stephen King,
Patrick Rothfuss, Jim Butcher, John Scalzi, Kevin J. Anderson, and
John Varley.

My music tastes tend to shift, but lately I trend towards power
metal. In the past I've chilled out to techno/trance, jazz, and
even classical music.

I'm an adventurous eater and love trying new things, especially
exotic Asian food. Chinese pot-sticker dumplings are my absolute
favorite things to eat/make. However, I still love a good plate of
pasta or some down-home country cookin'.

My own future. I tend to get lost in my head planning out parts of
my own life. However, I find things rarely work out the way I
imagine, and I'm at my best when I abandon preconceptions and just
go with the flow.

Also sometimes I like to think of what I would do in case of a
zombie attack.
